PUBLIC PRINTING.-As will be seen by
the published proceedings of the board
of commissioners a new contract has
been made for the public printing oil
this county. This was made necessary
by the new code, which requires con-
siderable advertising that did not come
under the old contract, and as we have
no desire to take any undue advantage
of the county we submitted a new con-
tract which embraces all the county
printing, excep pit job work and the delin-
quent tax list, on the same terms as the
old contract. Under the new arrange
ment the county is largely the gamer
and the fullest publicity in all things
relating to county affairs is assured,
